"Bang!"
The shot landed squarely on the monster again, and Alex quickly clapped his hands in praise.
"Then I'll try to move slowly." Alex said, activating Baron Bunny to walk slowly.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Chiori fired three shots in a row, all hitting their mark accurately.
Actually, it wasn't that bad; it was just like aiming when placing his own markers.
Once he got used to it, hitting the target was quite simple.
It was another prolonged battle that lasted for a long time. Chiori fired the last shot, eliminating the final monster.
"Not bad." Alex nodded.
Chiori, however, handed the single-handed gun back to Alex: "You should keep the gun. I'm still not quite used to it."
"Huh?" Alex exclaimed softly. Chiori's final hit rate was over eighty or ninety percent, and he was telling him he wasn't used to it?
Then where was he, an FPS game master, supposed to complain when his hit rate didn't even reach ten percent after getting started?
So, after collecting the rewards, Alex continued to drive Chiori at high speed.
During this time, he completed several Ley Line Outcrops.
Driving on the sea again, Chiori no longer made the flustered exclamations he had at first.
Chiori had completely adapted to riding in Alex's vehicle: Baron Bunny.
"Hmm, I don't have anything else to do now. Didn't you say you wanted to look for Fontaine materials?" Alex drove ashore and stopped the car.
He genuinely didn't know what to do next, so just taking the girl out for a stroll was quite nice.
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" Alex asked.
"Me? Anywhere is fine. After all, I just arrived, so I'm only somewhat familiar with Fontaine." Chiori said to Alex.
"Hmm..." Alex pondered for a moment and came up with a good place to go.
"I'll take you to meet your Geo teammate!" Alex said.
"Geo teammate?" Chiori asked, confused. What kind of name was that?
"Yes, he's the President of the Spina di Rosula, Navia. Have you met him yet?" Alex asked, looking at Chiori.
"I haven't heard of him." Chiori shook his head, then lowered his head in thought for a moment, before looking up at Alex: "Spina di Rosula... Does that mean he's the president of a merchant guild? In that case, I'd like to meet him."
"I don't know if we'll run into him, but I'll take you to Poisson to look around!" Alex said, and Baron Bunny turned and headed in another direction.
Poisson.
Alex walked with Chiori down the street.
They hadn't walked far when they were lucky enough to spot a bodyguard dressed in all black.
He only remembered the one who 'sold Sinthe.' Unfortunately, the person he found wasn't him.
"Hey! Hello!" Alex greeted.
The man in black heard the voice and noticed Alex.
"It's you. Welcome back to Poisson." The man in black said.
"Oh, my friend, I'm looking for Navia." Alex then said.
"Alright, I knew it... Come with me." The man in black guessed that he came here to find Navia.
"Oh? Has Silver returned? Then you..." Navia, inside the house, heard the knock and spoke directly, then looked up and noticed the two people behind Silver.
"Hey! It's you. What made you decide to come see your big sister?" Navia said with an enthusiastic tone, then he saw Chiori next to Alex.
"And this is?..." Well, although Navia had heard about him through his subordinates' information.
But he still politely waited for them to introduce him.
"My name is Chiori, and I'm from Inazuma." Chiori said briefly.
"Please sit, please sit first." Navia said, standing up and walking towards the two, leading them to the table and asking them to sit down.
"It's like this." Alex paused in his speech. He had truly come here on a whim, with nothing particular to say. Oh, wait! How could he not?
"Alright, it's just been a few days, and I missed seeing Huang Dou Jie." Alex said.
Then he took out a gift box from his hand, which contained strawberries, and transformed his Combat Skill into a small Navia. He made a cup of strawberry juice.
"I brought a gift! These are strawberries and juice made from strawberries. Please try some..."
Navia nodded and accepted the strawberry juice.
Giving it only to Navia felt a bit awkward, as Chiori next to him didn't have any.
Anyway, he still had a few dozen strawberries.
He took out another one, immediately made another cup, and silently handed it to Chiori.
"I believe, Miss Chiori, you are the owner of 'Chiori Tailor Shop'!" Navia looked at Chiori.
Chiori nodded faintly: "Yes, Chiori Tailor Shop is the clothing store I opened in Fontaine."
Navia looked at Chiori, his eyes filled with admiration as he said: "I've also seen the styles of clothes you make, and I must say, President Chiori's designs and craftsmanship are truly beyond praise."
"You flatter me..." Chiori's tone was very calm, as if discussing something not worth mentioning.
"I envy people with skillful hands. Speaking of designing clothes, I have many ideas, but when I try to make them myself, they don't turn out at all." Navia finally looked a bit dejected.
He had once thought about designing beautiful clothes for himself, but after seeing a pile of ruined fabric scraps on the table, he completely gave up on making clothes for himself.
Chiori had indeed been very short on inspiration these past few days, and Navia might give him some ideas: "Oh? You have ideas? Tell me about them, maybe I can help you design them."
So, Alex hadn't even exchanged a few words with Navia yet.
Navia and Chiori started chatting animatedly. Finally, after discussing clothes, they even started talking about perfumes and so on... "Emilie's perfume from Fontaine is really good, I highly recommend you try it." Navia said.
"I'll remember that. I definitely have to check it out next time." Chiori also nodded with interest.
The two chatted happily for a long time, and then Navia suddenly realized: "We've been talking for so long, let me treat you to the macarons I made."
"Wait for me a moment." Navia said, walking to the adjacent room. After a while, Navia returned, already holding some freshly baked, beautiful macarons.
"So these are macarons?" Chiori looked at the macarons with their cute patterns and couldn't help but like them.
"Try them. Don't be shy." Navia waved his hand, and at the same time, he also took a macaron and started eating it first.
"Mmm~" Navia himself let out a satisfied sound.
"Mmm!" After eating, Chiori also gave a very fair answer: "This macaron is delicious!"
Alex also ate one, feeling that the taste was alright; it was just like a sandwich cookie.
After eating, Navia and Chiori started chatting about women's topics again.
